Before we went on our trip, we were lucky to learn a few tips from our friends, so I would like to share those with you! It might safe you lots of time and research!
這次旅行出發之前還好有朋友的提醒，我們才能順利的玩到錫安國家公園的景點。
所以在這邊也來提醒一下大家：
You can park your car right out side of the park, or you can take the free shuttle in town to the entrance of the park. Traveling within the park, you can take shuttles, walk, or ride bikes.
It cost $1 for the shuttle ticket per person. You can get your Park tickets and the gate and it is valid for a week use.
錫安國家公園區裡禁止外來車輛入園，車子可以開到公園門口停放（停車位有限）
如果不想找停車位，小鎮裡有很貼心的免費巴士會載你到園區門口。
入園門票可以用一個星期，所以第二天入園只要給他們看發票就可以囉
挑戰一：
🚌入園後要搭的巴士車票
巴士門票一張一塊美金，一個月之前可以上網買票
https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/300016/ticket/3010
如果跟我們一樣一個月之前沒買到票的，我們還有一次機會：
前一天的下午五點會有巴士票釋出
如果再沒有買到票的話，就只能當天去排隊等下午兩點以後的自由座了。
You can get your tickets a month ahead or the day before at 5 PM : https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/300016/ticket/3010
At 5pm, additional tickets will release and EVERYONE will be going for it so make sure you use at lease 2 phones! Also, you need to create an account and LOGIN in order to get tickets!
我們連續兩天一人一機都剛好有一個人搶到，真的超級搶的！
記得要提早安排下山時間，以便搶票！
買票必須要註冊帳戶並且登入
一定要記得五點以前就要登入準備好
不然就哭哭喔
Where did we stay?
We stayed at Holiday Inn Zion. We tried to book Zion lodge but it was fully booked.
We are very happy with our choice at Holiday Inn. The view is great, it came with breakfast and the swimming pool and spa area was nice.
挑戰二：
🏨住哪裡好？
國家公園內的飯店都很受歡迎，非常難訂
Zion Lodge完全客滿
我們後來訂的是Zion Holiday Inn的頂樓房間，
窗戶打開就是Zion 景色
還有泳池和三溫暖可以享受
早上也有附早餐
-When we were in the park, people who wants to get on the bus at Zion lodge stations has a long wait since it was a mid point so the buses were usually too packed to take additional passengers. You might want to take this into considerations if you want to stay there.
入園後覺得住Zion Lodge不太理想，
好幾次巴士到那一站的時候都已經客滿了，
那裡的房客要等好幾班車才上的了車。
想住那裡的朋友可以參考一下呦
Our first day, we stopped at The Grotto and did the Emerald pools trails. We went in early April, nervous about the weather being too cold but it turned out to be just fine. It was a chilly before 9am but the rest of the weather was perfect for hiking. Remember to bring enough water and food.
第一天，我們搭園區巴士一路坐到The Grotto 爬了Emerald pools trails
Zion裡面真的很美很美，我們四月初的時候去
本來還擔心山上會很冷，但其實10點以後天氣超適合爬山的
只是早起的清晨可能還是要加一件外套
記得也要帶足夠的水和食物
If you want to hike the Narrow-
We took our rentals the night before. You can also pick it up in the morning but there is a good chance that there will be a huge line. That’s why we decided to take it with us the previous night and hang it in our hotel to let it dry. We rented the dry suits, socks and shoes, sticks and a dry bag. It was $137 total.
挑戰三：
⛰️The Narrows 溯溪租賃配備
第一天入園的時候看到大排長龍的租借防水衣褲和竹竿去溯溪
我們也好想玩玩看！
幸運的是Zion Outfitter 還有足夠的裝備可以租
他們建議你一早七點來排隊租裝備
或者是提前一天把裝備拿回去晾（還來不及乾）
我們吃完晚餐之後大概七點半左右取了裝備：
防水衣、襪子、鞋子、木桿、防水袋（約130美金）
這樣隔天就可以睡一點吃完早餐再出門。
🍴Restaurants:
King’s Landing Bistro
This place is SO WONDERFUL.
They don’t take small group reservations and the seats are first come first serve.
We were there right when it opens in the afternoon. Food is amazing, view is fabulous, the owner’s last name is King, that makes a cleaver name of the restaurant !!!!!
🍴餐廳：
我在這裏認真鄭重的推薦King’s Landing Bistro
身為行銷人，不得不佩服這個剛好老闆姓King， 而有的100分名字
食物好吃、又有美景陪伴，缺點是不能訂位，先來先入好座呦！
Restaurant 2: Zion Pizza and Noodle
Their pizzas are great! We had take outs and simply find a seat on the street and eat while looking at the beautiful mountain.
餐廳2: Zion Pizza and Noodle
相較King’s Landing 平價很多的餐廳
我們點了兩個Pizza
在路旁找個石頭坐下邊看著對面的美景吃晚餐
這裡太陽下山的晚
但是商店大概都六、七點左右就關門了（超市、餐廳除外）
The Narrow:
Tips: Bring a sandal/flipflop with you in your bag if you plan to be in the water for more than 3 hours.
You’ll thank me later.
Try not to fall! Going slow is fine, we saw many people falling and I almost fell so many times! Water could be up to waist height. Try not to fall!
The Narrow:
搭巴士到The temple of Sinawava
溯溪真的很好玩
防水衣讓身體從頭到尾都不會濕
但是要小心摔倒呀
一摔倒就全身都濕了
我有好幾次差一點摔跤，一路上看到好多人摔倒
最深的深的有到胸下
我們花了六個小時溯溪
聽說一直走下去到底一趟大概是9個小時😱
我跟瑞先生帶了夾腳拖在背包裡
這個決定真的是我們那天最棒的決定😄
水襪和水鞋只是幫助保暖和站穩，沒有防水
所以腳泡在水裏整整六個小時
出來的時候完全等不及要脫掉全身裝備換上拖鞋
剛好一邊等巴士一邊換裝
旁邊的遊客都超羨慕😛
Last but not least, check out canyon over look on your way to Bryce. Hiking in Zion is beautiful but my camera had a hard time catching its beauty. At canyon over look, the beauty of Zion shows on the camera too! The parking might be tough but don’t give up. People usually doesn’t stay too long.
最後！
如果你也是離開Zion後要往Bryce（布萊斯峽谷）去的話
別忘了去看看 canyon over look （首圖）
漫步在Zion裡的美相機抓不太出來
但是從canyon over look 看到Zion 連相機都甘拜下風
雖然停車位可能要碰點運氣
但有時間一定要去看看呦！大概40分鐘來回。
還有，喜歡畫畫的人，可以好好把握這個寫生的機會呦
I hope this was a helpful article for you to read! Let me know if you have any questions. I brought some crayons and paper boards with me on this trip. I was able to find a spot and just simply seat and draw. I would strongly recommend it if you like to draw/paint. Enjoy the world!
以上
希望對未來要去的你們有幫助
